Description
BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[0001] The disclosure relates to an anti-VEGF-PD1 bispecific
antibody with a novel structure, which belongs to the technical
field of molecular immunology.
Description of Related Art
[0002] Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also known as
vascular permeability factor (VPF), is a highly specific vascular
endothelial cell growth factor that has the ability to promote
vascular permeability, modification of extracellular matrix,
migration of vascular endothelial cell, proliferation and
vascularization. Vascular endothelial growth factor is a family,
including VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, VEGF-E and placental
growth factor (PGF). Usually VEGF is VEGF-A. VEGF-A can promote the
formation of new blood vessels and increase the permeability of
blood vessels. VEGF-B plays a role in tumors that are formed by
non-neovascularization. VEGF-C and VEGF-D play a role in the
formation of new blood vessels and new lymphatic vessels in cancer
tissues. VEGF-E is also a potential neovascularization factor. PGF
promotes neovascularization, increases vascular permeability, and
significantly increases the expression of PGF in experimental
choroidal neovascularization. High-affinity receptors that
specifically bind to vascular endothelial growth factor are called
vascularendothelialgrowthfactorreceptor (VEGFR), and are mainly
classified into 3 types, including VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, and VEGFR-3.
VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 are mainly distributed on the surface of tumor
vascular endothelium, regulating tumor angiogenesis; VEGFR-3 is
mainly distributed on the surface of lymphatic endothelium,
regulating tumor lymphangiogenesis. VEGF is a highly conserved
homodimeric glycoprotein. Two single chains with a molecular weight
of 24 kDa each form a dimer with disulfide bonds. The monomers
decomposed by VEGF are inactive, and the removal of N2 glycosyl
group has no effect on biological effects, but may play a role in
cell secretion. Due to different splicing methods for mRNA, at
least five protein forms such as VEGF121, VEGF145, VEGF165,
VEGF185, and VEGF206 are produced, wherein VEGF121, VEGF145, and
VEGF165 are secreted soluble proteins that can directly act on
vascular endothelial cells to promote vascular endothelial cell
proliferation and increase vascular permeability. In 1990, Dr.
Folkman of Harvard University proposed the famous Folkman theory
that the growth of tumor tissue must rely on neovascularization to
have sufficient oxygen and nutrients to keep growing, which is
considered as the basis of clinical application of VEGF. Monoclonal
antibody with combination of anti-VEGF and VEGFR can inhibit
vascular endothelial growth factor and is used to treat various
metastatic cancers.
[0003] Programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) is an important
immunosuppressive molecule, which is an immunoglobulin superfamily
and a membrane protein of 268 amino acid residues, originally
cloned from the cell hybridoma 2B4.11 of an apoptotic mouse T.
Immunomodulation with PD-1 as a target has important significance
in treating tumors, anti-infections, anti-autoimmune diseases and
organ transplantation survival. Its ligand PD-L1 can also be used
as a target, and the corresponding antibody can also play the same
role. The combination of PD-1 and PD-L1 initiates the programmed
death of T cells, allowing tumor cells to achieve tumor immune
escape. PD-1 has at least two ligands, one is PD-L1 and the other
one is PD-L2; PD-L1 has at least two ligands, one is PD-1 and the
other one is CD80; PD-L2 has at least two ligands, one is PD-1, and
the other one is RGMB. PD-L1/L2 is expressed in antigen-presenting
cells, and PD-L1 is also expressed in various tissues. The
combination of PD-1 and PD-L1 mediates the co-suppression signal of
T cell activation, regulates T cell activation and proliferation,
and performs the function of negative regulatory similar to CTLA-4.
A Chinese-American scientist's (Lie-ping Chen) lab first discovered
that PD-L1 is highly expressed in tumor tissues and has the
function of regulating tumor-infiltrating on CD8 T cells.
Therefore, immunomodulation having PD-1/PD-L1 as target is of great
significance to treat tumors. In recent years, various
anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies have been rapidly developed in clinical
studies of tumor immunotherapy. Currently, Pembrolizumab and
Nivolumab have been approved by the FDA for treating advanced
melanoma. Moreover, recently Nivolumab has also been approved by
the FDA in the US for treating advanced squamous non-small cell
lung cancer. In addition, MPDL3280A (anti-PD-L1 monoclonal
antibody), Avelumab (anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody), etc. have
also been involved in multiple clinical studies on advanced
cancers, covering non-small cell carcinoma, melanoma, bladder
cancer and other tumor types. Due to the prospects in treating
broad-spectrum anti-tumor and amazing efficacy of PD-1 antibodies,
the industry generally believes that antibodies directed at the
PD-1 channel will make a breakthrough in the treatment of various
tumors: for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, kidney
cell cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma, leukemia, anemia, etc. On
the American Cancer Society (AACR) annual meeting and the American
Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting held in 2012 and
2013, the data related to clinical efficacy of PD-1 antibody drugs
was revealed, and then PD-1 antibodies became the most popular
antibody drugs for research conducted by drug manufacturers.
[0004] A bifunctional antibody is a bispecific antibody, which is a
non-natural antibody whose two arms that bind to an antigen have
different specificities. Bifunctional antibodies are usually
constructed by using biological methods and chemical cross-linking
methods. With the development of antibody engineering and molecular
biology techniques, a new type of method for constructing
bifunctional antibodies, genetic engineering method, has been
developed in recent years. Using genetic engineering method can not
only construct bifunctional antibodies with multiple functions and
multiple uses, but also make the construction of humanized
bifunctional antibodies a reality. As a new secondary guidance
system, bifunctional antibody has potential application value in
clinical treatment. On Dec. 3, 2014, the FDA in the US approved the
launch of bispecific antibody Blincyto(Blinatumomab) developed by
Amgen for use in the treatment of acute lymphocytic leukemia.
Blinatumomab is a bispecific antibody for CD19 and CD3.
Blincyto(Blinatumomab) is the first bispecific antibody approved by
the FDA in the US. Currently, there are more than 40 types of
bifunctional antibody developed, but due to the problems of low
production efficiency and poor pharmacokinetic performance, the
development of bispecific antibodies has been difficult.
[0005] Chinese patent application number 2015106924845.5, entitled
"Anti-VEGF-PD1 bifunctional antibody and its application", provides
an anti-VEGF-PD1 bifunctional antibody, which has a skeleton based

single chains. The disclosure is based on this bifunctional
antibody to optimize the structure and sequence.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0039] In order to make the disclosure more comprehensible, the
disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with the
embodiments and accompanying drawings. The following embodiments
are only to illustrate the disclosure but not to limit it. The
materials, reagents, instruments and methods used in the following
examples are all conventional materials, reagents, instruments and
methods in the art unless otherwise specified, and can be obtained
through commercial channels.
Example 1 Preparation of PD1 and VEGF Antigens and Antibodies
[0040] 1. Construction of Expression Vector for PD-1 Antigen
[0041] In the cDNA of human PD-1 synthesized by Kingsray
Corporation in Nanjing, the GeneID is 5133 and the cDNAID is
NM_005018.2. After synthesizing the PD-1 gene in the extracellular
region, an Fc purification tag was added to obtain PD-1-mFc, and
Xba I was introduced at both ends. Two restriction enzyme splice
sites of Bam HI were connected to the pTT5 expression plasmid,
which was verified by sequencing. The sequenced plasmid was
transfected into Trans10 (purchased from Beijing Quanshijin
Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), and the single clone was picked and
inoculated into 1 liter of LB liquid medium. When the OD.sub.600
was 1, the cells were collected by centrifugation, and a plasmid
maxiprep kit (purchased from Qiagen) was used to extract the
plasmid.
[0042] 2. Construction of Expression Vector for VEGF Antigen
[0043] The amino acid corresponding to the gene VEGF (NCBI Gene ID:
7422) was integrated with the Fc protein fragment mFc (Ig gamma-2A
chain C region) of IgG of the mouse to obtain VEGF-mFc. In order to
improve the expression efficiency of the target gene in the 293F
cell expression system, the sequence was optimized, and Xba I was
introduced at both ends. Two restriction enzyme splice sites of Bam
HI were connected to the pTT5 expression plasmid, which was
verified by sequencing. The sequenced plasmid was transfected into
Trans10 (purchased from Beijing Quanshijin Biotechnology Co.,
Ltd.), and the single clone was picked and inoculated into 1 liter
of LB liquid medium. When the OD.sub.600 was 1, the cells were
collected by centrifugation, and a plasmid maxiprep kit (purchased
from Qiagen) was used to extract the plasmid.
[0044] 3. Expression and Purification of PD-1 and VEGF Antigens
[0045] Transfect 293F cells (purchased from Invitrogen) with the
correct expression vector identified by sequencing, which was
conducted at a temperature of 37 degrees with 5% of CO.sub.2, and
culture at 130 rpm/min for 7 days. Then, the supernatant was
collected by centrifugation. The supernatant was centrifuged at
4000 rpm for 10 min, and then filtered with a 0.45 .mu.m filter
membrane; the filtrate was added with 400 mM of NaCl; and the pH
was adjusted to 8.0. After the sample was filtered again through a
0.2 .mu.m filter membrane, load the sample to a 5 mL HiTrap Protein
A column equilibrated with PBS (137 mM of NaCl, 2.7 mM of KCl, 10
mM of Na.sub.2HPO.sub.4, 2 mM of KH.sub.2PO.sub.4, pH7.4). After
the sample was loaded, use PBS for washing; the flow rate was 5
mL/min, and the UV monitoring result was at the standard level.
Buffer B (1M Glycine, pH 3.5) was eluted at a flow rate of 1
mL/min. The flow-out peak was collected and neutralized with Tris
to pH 7.5, and subjected to SDS-PAGE detection. The SDS-PAGE
electrophoresis result is as shown in FIG. 1. The elution peak was
concentrated and changed into PBS with an ultrafiltration
concentration tube, thereby obtaining an antigen.
[0046] 4. Construction of Anti-PD1 Humanized Antibody
[0047] (1) Antigen-Immunized Mice and Hybridoma Screening
[0048] In this experiment, three 8-week-old female BALB/c mice were
selected, and the mice were immunized with a mixture of PD-1
extracellular domain antigen and Freund's complete adjuvant by
intraperitoneal injection; the process was performed once a week in
a total of 3 times. One week after the last immunization, the serum
titers of the mice were measured. After the conditional titers were
greater than 8K, the immunization was boosted once. The result
showed that all 3 mice met the titers (the dilution value
corresponding to the OD.sub.450 value greater than 2 times the
negative control and greater than 0.25 is the titer of the
antibody, and the requirement is met as long as the titer is
greater than or equal to 8K). After 3 days, the mice are
sacrificed, the spleens of the mice were taken, and the spleen cell
population was obtained after grinding. The ELISA test results of
mouse serum titer are shown in Table 1.

[0049] The B cells of anti-human PD-1 antibody were screened by
flow cytometry (FACS), placed in RPMI1640 medium, added with
myeloma cells (SP2/0) and mixed, and cell integration was performed
using 50% PEG solution. The integrated cells were appropriately
diluted, divided and cultured in multiple 96-well culture plates,
and HAT selective medium was added to kill unintegrated B cells and
myeloma cells to obtain hybridoma cells. After cultured for 2
weeks, the 96-well plate cell culture supernatant was collected,
combined with PD-1 antigen-coated 96-well microplate for 1 hour,
added with anti-mouse/HRP secondary antibody and incubated for 1
hour, and finally added with TMB color reagent for 10 minutes. The
light absorption value at 450 nm was measured with a microplate
reader, and the hybridoma cells with binding activity to PD-1 were
selected (primary screening: 12 pieces of 96-well plates to obtain
42 wells with OD value .gtoreq.0.5). Subsequently, flow cytometry
(FACS) screening was performed to select hybridoma cells with
PD-1/PD-L1 blocking activity. Then sub-cloning by limiting dilution
method was carried out, and the cells with limited dilution were
cultured in 96-well plates. When the clones grew to 1/6 of the full
wells, the monoclones and polyclones were labeled, and the
monoclones were detected by ELISA. After the detection, the
monoclone with the highest OD value was then diluted into 96-well
plates and subcloned again as described above. This process was
repeated several times until the positive well ratio was 100%. The
plant was successfully constructed, and an anti-PD-1 mouse
monoclonal antibody cell strain was finally obtained. The result of
subcloning by limiting dilution method is shown in Table 2, and the
result of affinity identification is shown in Table 3.

[0050] (2) Anti-PD-1 Murine Antibody Variable Region Gene
Retrieval
[0051] The anti-PD-1 hybridoma clones were selected, the total RNA
was extracted using the Trizol method, and reverse transcription
PCR was performed using antibody-specific (Isotype) specific
primers or universal primers to respectively argument genes in the
antibody light chain variable region (VL) and heavy chain variable
region (VH), then connected to cloning vectors for DNA sequencing
analysis. Finally, the complete DNA sequences of VL and VH were
obtained and translated into corresponding amino acid sequences.
The amino acid sequences of the heavy chain and light chain of the
anti-PD-1 murine antibody are SEQ ID NO: 13-14 respectively;
wherein, the CDR-H1, CDR-H2 and CDR-H3 amino acid sequences in the
heavy chain variable region are SEQ ID NO: 15-17 respectively, the
CDR-L1, CDR-L2 and CDR-L3 amino acid sequences in the light chain
variable region are SEQ ID NO: 18-20 respectively.
[0052] (3) Humanized Transformation of Variable Region Gene of
Anti-PD-1 Murine Monoclonal Antibody
[0053] (a) Humanization of Heavy Chain
[0054] First, Ig Blast (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/igblast) was
used to analyze human germline genes with high homology to the VH
gene of the mouse PD-1 antibody. The result showed that the heavy
chain IGHV3-23 had 83% homology at the amino acid level, so it was
selected as a candidate gene template for the heavy chain variable
region. The CDR-H1, CDR-H2 and CDR-H3 of the mouse PD-1 antibody
were numbered according to the Kabat numbering rule, and the
corresponding CDR region amino acid sequence was introduced into
the framework region of IGHV3-23. The amino acid No. 49 (S->T)
and No. 78 (T->N) in the framework region were back-mutated to
the original sequence of mouse PD-1 antibody. Then, the heavy chain
CDR H1 No. 33 (G->D) and H2 No. 56 (S->R) were subjected to
additional mutations, thereby completing the humanization of the
heavy chain variable region. The heavy chain amino acid sequence of
the anti-PD-1 humanized antibody is SEQ ID NO: 21; wherein, the
CDR-H1, CDR-H2, and CDR-H3 amino acid sequences of the heavy chain
variable region are SEQ ID NO: 22-24, respectively.
[0055] (b) Humanization of Light Chain
[0056] First, Ig Blast (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/igblast) was
used to analyze human germline genes with high homology to the VL
gene of the mouse PD-1 antibody. The result showed that the light
chain IGKV1-16 had 86% homology at the amino acid level, so it was
selected as a candidate gene template for the light chain variable
region. The CDR-L1, CDR-L2 and CDR-L3 of the mouse PD-1 antibody
were numbered according to the Kabat numbering rule, and the
corresponding CDR region amino acid sequence was introduced into
the framework region of IGKV1-16. The amino acid No. 83 (F->M)
in the framework region was back-mutated to the original sequence
of mouse PD-1 antibody. Then, the light chain CDR L1 No. 31
(S->T) and No. 34 (S->A), L2 No. 56 (D->L) were
additionally mutated to complete humanization of the light chain
variable region. The light chain amino acid sequence of the
anti-PD-1 humanized antibody is SEQ ID NO: 25; wherein, the CDR-L1,
CDR-L2 and CDR-L3 amino acid sequences of the light chain variable
region are SEQ ID NO: 26-28, respectively.
[0057] (4) Affinity Maturation of Anti-PD-1 Humanized
Antibodies
[0058] An antibody mutant library was designed for the five CDR
regions (L1, L3, H1, H2, and H3) of the anti-PD-1 humanized
antibody, and the mutation sites covered all non-conserved sites of
the CDR regions. A single chain antibody (scFv) gene was obtained
by SOE-PCR reaction, after DNA gel recovery and digestion, it was
connected with the digested pCANTAB-5E phage display vector to
electrotransform TG1 competent bacteria to obtain 5 CDR-containing
mutations single chain antibody library. By infecting M13KO7 helper
phage to produce recombinant phage, a total of three rounds of
elutriation were performed to retain and enrich antibody-binding
mutants with strong binding ability. In each round of elutriation,
the recombinant phage and the biotin-labeled recombinant human PD-1
antigen were combined for 2 hours, then streptavidin magnetic beads
were added for 30 minutes, and 2% of TPBS, 1% of TPBS and PBS were
used in sequence for washing for 5 times, 5 minutes per washing.
After the elutriation, TG1 cells were immediately used for
infection for the next round of preparation of recombinant phage.
After three rounds of elutriation, the enriched TG1 monoclone were
selected to prepare the recombinant phage supernatant, which was
combined with a 96-well microtiter plate coated with 1 .mu.g/mL
PD-1 antigen for 1 hour, added with M13/HRP secondary antibody and
incubated for 1 hour, and finally added with OPD to carry out a
color reaction for 10 minutes. The light absorption value at 490 nm
was measured with a microplate reader. After analyzing the data,
calculate the relative affinity of antibody-containing mutants, and
select 3, 6, and 5 clones with significantly improved affinity from
the L3, H1, and H3 mutant libraries, respectively, and finally
select one clone PDAB with the highest affinity from the H3 mutant
library for the next study. The electrophoresis result is shown in
FIG. 2.
[0059] 5. Construction of Anti-VEGF Humanized Antibody
[0060] The anti-VEGF humanized antibody used in this experiment was
bevacizumab (Avastin, bevacizumab) launched by Roche (Genentech) in
2004. The antibody sequence (CN101210051A) was obtained from a
public protein sequence website such as a patent website. The cDNA
of the light chain and the heavy chain of VEGF antibody was
artificially synthesized, and the synthesized cDNA was cloned into
the pTT5 plasmid, and the plasmid construction was verified by
sequencing. The sequenced plasmid was transfected into Trans10
(purchased from Beijing Quanshijin Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), and
the single clone was picked and inoculated into 1 liter of LB
liquid medium. When the OD.sub.600 was 1, the cells were collected
by centrifugation, and a plasmid maxiprep kit (purchased from
Qiagen) was used to extract the plasmid. The VEGF heavy chain
expression vector and light chain expression vector (1:1)
identified by sequencing were co-transfected into 293F cells, which
was performed at a temperature of 37 degrees with 5% of CO.sub.2,
and cultured at 130 rpm/min for 7 days. The supernatant was
collected by centrifugation. The supernatant was centrifuged at
4000 rpm for 10 min, and filtered with a 0.45 .mu.m filter
membrane, and the filtrate was collected; the filtrate was added
with 400 mM of NaCl; the pH was adjusted to 8.0. After the sample
was filtered again through a 0.2 .mu.m filter membrane, the sample
was loaded to a 5 mL HiTrap MabSelect column (purchased from GE)
that had been equilibrated with PBS (137 mM of NaCl, 2.7 mM of KCl,
10 mM of Na.sub.2HPO.sub.4, 2 m of MKH.sub.2PO.sub.4, pH7.4). After
the sample was completely loaded, rinse with PBS at a flow rate of
5 mL/min, and the UV monitoring result is at a standard level.
Buffer B (1M Glycine, pH3.5) was eluted at a flow rate of 1 mL/min.
The flow-out peak was collected and neutralized with Tris to pH7.5,
and subjected to SDS-PAGE detection. The SDS-PAGE non-reducing
electrophoresis detection result is shown in FIG. 3. The elution
peak was concentrated with an ultrafiltration concentration tube,
and the solution was changed into PBS with a desalting column to
obtain antibody VEGF protein.
Example 2 Preparation of Candidate Bispecific Antibodies
[0061] 1. Preparation of scFv-VEGF-Linker-PD1-H Chain Structure
Bispecific Antibody (A3P4):
[0062] On the basis of existing anti-VEGF humanized antibodies, the
heavy chain and light chain variable region genes are extracted and
connected with peptides to form a single chain antibody scFv-VEGF.
The scFv-VEGF was cloned into the N-terminus of the anti-PD1
antibody heavy chain to construct a bispecific antibody with
scFv-VEGF-linker-PD1-H chain structure. The heavy chain expression
vector and the light chain expression vector of anti-PD1 antibody
were co-transformed into 293F cells, and the supernatant was
collected and purified. SDS-PAGE was used to identify molecular
weight and purity (see FIG. 4). By using SEC, it was detected that
there are more antibody dimers in this sequence (see FIG. 5).
[0063] 2. Preparation of dsFv-VEGF-Linker-PD1-H Chain Structure
Bispecific Antibody (Vs3P4):
[0064] On the basis of the original experiment, the new structure
is redesigned. The heavy chain and light chain variable region
genes of anti-VEGF humanized antibody were extracted and VH44cys
and VL100cys mutations were performed (intra-chain disulfide bonds
were increased to improve aggregation), and peptide chains were
connected to form single-chain antibody dsFv-VEGF. The dsFv-VEGF
was cloned into the N-terminus of the anti-PD1 antibody heavy chain
to construct a bispecific antibody with a dsFv-VEGF-linker-PD1-H
chain structure (see FIG. 6). The heavy chain expression vector and
anti-PD1 antibody light chain expression vector were co-transformed
into 293F cells, and the supernatant was collected and purified.
SDS-PAGE was used to identify molecular weight and purity (see FIG.
7), and SEC detection was performed (see FIG. 8).
[0065] 3. Preparation of dsFv-PD1-Linker-VEGF-H Chain Structure
Bispecific Antibody (Ps3Vm):
[0066] This is the third structural optimization design. On the
basis of the existing anti-PD1 humanized antibody, the heavy chain
and light chain variable region genes were extracted and VH44cys
and VL100cys mutations were performed (intra-chain disulfide bonds
were increased to improve aggregation), and peptide chains were
connected to form single-chain antibody dsFv-PD1. The dsFv-PD1 was
cloned into the N-terminus of the anti-VEGF antibody heavy chain to
construct a bispecific antibody with a dsFv-PD1-linker-VEGF-H chain
structure (see FIG. 9). The heavy chain expression vector and
anti-VEGF antibody light chain expression vector were
co-transformed into 293F cells, and the supernatant was collected
and purified. SDS-PAGE was used to identify molecular weight and
purity (see FIG. 10), and SEC detection was performed (see FIG.
11). The amino acid and nucleotide sequences of the heavy chain of
the Ps3Vm antibody are SEQ ID NO: 9 and SEQ ID NO: 11,
respectively, and the amino acid and nucleotide sequences of the
CDR-H1, CDR-H2 and CDR-H3 in the heavy chain variable region are
SEQ ID NO: 1-3 and SEQ ID NO: 5-7; the light chain amino acid and
nucleotide sequences of the Ps3Vm antibody are SEQ ID NO: 10 and
SEQ ID NO: 12, respectively. The amino acid and nucleotide
sequences of CDR-L in the light chain variable region are SEQ ID
NO: 4 and SEQ ID NO: 8, respectively.
Example 3 Measurement of Affinity of Bispecific Antibodies
[0067] 1. Affinity of Bispecific Antibody to PD-1
[0068] The enzyme-labeled plate was coated with PD-1-mFc, blocked
with 1% of BSA, and the antibodies PDAB, A3P4, Vs3P4, and Ps3Vm of
different concentrations were added to the enzyme-labeled plate
respectively. After incubation at 37.degree. C., the enzyme-labeled
secondary antibody was added for incubation at 37.degree. C. for 30
minutes. The light absorption value at 450 nm was measured with a
microplate reader. The binding result of antibodies PDAB, A3P4,
Vs3P4, Ps3Vm and antigen PD-1 showed that antibodies PDAB, A3P4,
Vs3P4, and Ps3Vm can effectively bind to PD-1 protein, and the
binding efficiency is dose-dependent. The results are shown in FIG.
12 and Table 4.

Example 4 Measurement of Specificity of Bispecific Antibodies
[0071] 1. The Specificity of Bispecific Antibodies to PD-1
[0072] The enzyme-labeled plate was coated with PD-1-mFc, blocked
with 1% of BSA, and the antibodies PDAB, A3P4, Vs3P4, Ps3Vm, and
Avastin of different concentrations were mixed with PD-1-mFc,
respectively. After incubation at 37.degree. C., the enzyme-labeled
secondary antibody was added for incubation at 37.degree. C. for 30
minutes. The light absorption value at 450 nm was measured with a
microplate reader. The binding result of antibodies PDAB, A3P4,
Vs3P4, Ps3Vm, and Avastin and antigen PD-1 showed that antibodies
PDAB, A3P4, Vs3P4, Ps3Vm, and Avastin can effectively compete with
PDL-1 to bind to PD-1 protein, and the binding efficiency is
dose-dependent. The result is shown in FIG. 14.
[0073] 2. Specificity of Bispecific Antibodies to VEGF
[0074] The enzyme-labeled plate was coated with VEGF-mFc, blocked
with 1% of BSA, and the antibodies Avastin, A3P4, Vs3P4, Ps3Vm, and
PDAB of different concentrations were mixed with VEGF-A-hFc,
respectively. After incubation at 37.degree. C., the enzyme-labeled
secondary antibody was added for incubation at 37.degree. C. for 30
minutes. The light absorption value at 450 nm was measured with a
microplate reader. The binding result of antibodies Avastin, A3P4,
Vs3P4, Ps3Vm, and PDAB and antigen VEGF showed that antibodies
Avastin, A3P4, Vs3P4, Ps3Vm, and PDAB can effectively compete with
VEGF-A to bind to VEGF protein, and the binding efficiency is
dose-dependent. The result is shown in FIG. 15.
Example 5 Candidate Bispecific Antibodies Induce T Cells to Secrete
IL-2 In Vitro
[0075] The Ficoll centrifugation method (purchased from GE) and
CD4+ T cell enrichment column (purchased from R&D Systems) were
used to prepare fresh PBMC and purify human T cells. Plate the
cells into a 96-well flat bottom plate, after overnight
cultivation, add six different concentrations of antibodies NIVO,
PDAB, Vs3P4 and Ps3Vm in an amount of 0.0096, 0.048, 0.24, 1.2, 6,
and 30 .mu.g/mL respectively. The same type control antibody IgG1
of six different concentrations were added as a negative control.
After 3 days of culture, the supernatant was collected, and the
secretion level of the supernatant IL-2 was measured by using a
Luminex apparatus (purchased from LifeTechnology) and a cytokine
IL-2 detection kit (purchased from BD Biosciences). The result is
shown in FIG. 16. The result showed that the bispecific antibodies
Vs3P4 and Ps3Vm can effectively stimulate the function of T cells
to secrete the cytokine IL-2, and the stimulation is related to
antibody concentration, whereas the isotype control antibody cannot
promote proliferation of T cells and secretion of IL-2.
Example 6 Candidate Bispecific Antibodies Induce T Cells to Secrete
IFN-.gamma. In Vitro
[0076] The Ficoll centrifugation method (purchased from GE) and
CD4+ T cell enrichment column (purchased from R&D Systems) were
used to prepare fresh PBMC and purify human T cells. The monocytes
were purified by using Miltenyi CD14 monocyte purification kit, and
DC cells were generated after monocytes were cultured with GM-CSF
and IL-4 (both purchased from PeproTech) for 7 days. Plate the
cells into a 96-well flat bottom plate, after overnight
cultivation, each culture with a total volume of 200 .mu.L contains
10e5 purified T cells and 10e4 dendritic cells. Add six different
concentrations of antibodies NIVO, PDAB, Vs3P4 and Ps3Vm in an
amount of 0.0096, 0.048, 0.24, 1.2, 6, and 30 .mu.g/mL
respectively. The same type control antibody IgG1 of six different
concentrations were added as a negative control. The cells were
cultured for 5 days at 37.degree. C. After 5 days, 100 .mu.L of
culture medium was taken from each culture for measurement of
cytokine IFN-.gamma.. The level of IFN-.gamma. was measured by
using OptEIA ELISA kit (purchased from BD Biosciences). The result
is shown in FIG. 17. The result showed that the bispecific
antibodies Vs3P4 and Ps3Vm can effectively stimulate the function
of T cells to secrete the cytokine IFN-.gamma., and the stimulation
is related to concentration, whereas the isotype control antibody
cannot promote proliferation of T cells and secretion of
IFN-.gamma..

Suitable for the Experiment
[0078] The PBMC cells, human colon cancer Colo-205 cells, B-NDG
mice used in this experiment are commonly available in the
industry.
[0079] Human colon cancer Colo-205 cells purchased from the Chinese
Academy of Sciences were cultured above 6.0*10.sup.7, and B-NDG
mice (2.0*10.sup.6 cells each, 30 mice in total) subcutaneously
inoculated with the cells were purchased from Biocytogen. The mice
were fed normally, and when the tumor grew to a size of 100
mm.sup.3, the human PBMC cells purchased from different sources
were intraperitoneally injected into each of the B-NDG severely
immunodeficient mice purchased from Biocytogen at 1*10.sup.7. The
growing condition of the tumor was observed until the tumor was
formed successfully (select 10 groups of PBMC cells and inject each
group of the cells into 3 mice for parallel experiments).

[0081] 2. Use the Selected PBMC Cells to Build Animal Models
[0082] PBMC cells (G1, G2, G8, G10) with successful matching were
selected and injected into B-NDG-b2m MHC knockout severely
deficient mice (1*10.sup.7 cells per mouse) purchased from
Biocytogen. Meanwhile, the mice were subcutaneously inoculated with
human colon cancer Colo-205 cells to observe whether tumors are
formed successfully, which is a pre-experiment. Only 8 mice were
injected and inoculated (as two sets of parallel experiments).
Tumorigenicity was observed and the PBMC cells that were
successfully formed into tumors were selected for the next stage of
experiment.

[0085] The above PBMC cells (G10) were selected and injected into
B-NDG-b2m MHC knockout severely deficient mice (1*10.sup.7 cells
per mouse in 4 groups, 6 mice per group) purchased from Biocytogen.
Meanwhile, the mice were subcutaneously inoculated with human colon
cancer Colo-205 cells to observe whether tumors are formed
successfully. The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups
according to growth of tumor. Negative control group
(intraperitoneally injected with saline), Vs3P4 group (subjected to
tail vein injection of Vs3P4 antibody in an amount of 3 mg/kg),
Ps3Vm group (subjected to tail vein injection of Ps3Vm antibody in
an amount of 3 mg/kg), positive control group bevacizumab
(subjected to tail vein injection in an amount of 3 mg/kg). The

antibody effects from molecular, cellular, biological aspects. The
results show that: bispecific antibody Ps3Vm (with VEGF as the
skeleton with insertion of dsFv-PD1 monomer) has the best test
effect, can effectively bind to PD-1 and VEGF protein, and can
effectively compete with PDL-1 to bind to PD-1 protein and compete
with VEGF-A to bind to VEGF protein, while can effectively
stimulate the function of T cells and secretion of cytokines IL-2
and IFN-.gamma.. In contrast, the isotype control antibody cannot
promote proliferation of the T cells and secretion of IL-2 and
IFN-.gamma.. In addition, the bispecific antibody Ps3Vm can also
significantly inhibit growth of tumor in mice.
[0087] Although the disclosure has been disclosed in the above
embodiments, it is not intended to limit the disclosure, and those
skilled in the art can make some modifications and refinements
without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure.
Therefore, the scope of the disclosure is subject to the definition
of the scope of the appended claims.
